The America 250 Committee in Mount Carmel will meet this evening at 5 p.m. at City Hall as planning continues for a major community celebration marking the nation’s 250th anniversary.
Mayor Joe Judge shared an update during last week’s “Ask the Mayor” segment on WSJD, saying the committee is working through a number of ideas, including events along Market Street.
Judge says the city has already secured its Fourth of July fireworks, with plans for an extended show this year. Organizers are also working to bring in a larger concert than usual around the holiday.
The committee is aiming to expand the celebration into a full week of activities—potentially starting on a Saturday and running through the following Sunday.
Plans also include coordinating events like Touch-A-Truck with local Shop with a Cop and Shop with a Firefighter groups, along with the traditional Rotary Corn Day to wrap up the festivities.
Tonight’s meeting will continue shaping what is expected to be a packed schedule of events to celebrate America 250 in Mount Carmel.
